| Summary/Abstract |
In 1974, both the Arab League and the United Nations recognized the Palestine
Liberation Organization (PLO) as the "sole, legitimate representative of the
Palestinian people." This article explores the dynamic history of the PLO's
methods of political representation from its establishment in 1964 through the
height of the armed struggle in the mid-seventies. Contrasting fedayee theories
of political representation with their practice, the author draws upon a range
of ideological documents produced by different guerrilla factions, as well as
accounts from prominent actors in the movement.
